Robbie Aristodemo is in his ninth year as head coach for the girls’ soccer team and also serves as assistant strength coach at Montverde Academy (MVA). His love and passion for soccer compel him to be involved in many different aspects of soccer in south Lake County. As a dedicated coach, he lead the MVA Lady Eagles to two consecutive State Champion titles and was voted the 2019 Women’s Coach of the Year at MVA.
Beyond his work at MVA, he coaches a U10 boys team in Clermont, which has lost only one game in the past two years. In the summer, he offers soccer camps for student-athletes to enhance their skills while pursuing their passion for the sport of soccer. If that isn’t enough, Coach Robbie does radio commentating for both home and away games for the Orlando City Soccer Club.
